Women's Life and Work in the Southern Colonies

First published in 1938, this pioneering work in American social history was rediscovered by historian Anne Firor Scott and republished in paperback in 1972. Now Professor Scott has written an Introduction newly assessing the importance of this richly detailed classic for a new generation of scholars. Based on a wealth of documentation, often from the words of the individuals themselves, the remarkable lives of women in the early Southern colonies emerge from the shadows. Photos.
